Summary: Sw337 ann L337
Review: This controller is really sweet. I bought this for a game I'm really looking forward too, One Must Fall: Battlegrounds. Installation was painless in XP, doesn't require you to install drivers but the rumble feature requires the drivers. The range is great and is perfect if you game on your TV. Coz you could get the best of both PC and Console Worlds: playing PC games while sitting on your couch! I really don't have any complaints about this product... heck for the price I paid...it is definitely worth every penny. I probally wouldn't buy it for above $40 though.
Props to Logitech for making another quality product, this is the 4th logitech product I have (wireless keyboard, wireless mouse, Z540 Speakers, and this gampad), guess how much I paid for all that ... $42!!

Summary: Great gamepad
Review: This is a very good gamepad. Immediate benefit is not having a cord. My setup has me playing games on my tv, and needing to be within a few feet of the computer to play on the tv is not good. This gives you range and versatility. Easy to install, and the software is rather simple to go through.

In addition, you can program your gamepad for virtually any game. This isn't foolproof, though. I tried doing that for RtCW and I was limited to a certain range of viewability and aiming. So I couldn't play that game with it. However, plenty of other games work well with it.

Summary: Get batteries!
Review: This is easily the best PC controller on the market... as long as you have a set of rechargeable batteries AND you need four triggers.

I chose this controller because it has dual analog sticks AND (most importantly) it has four triggers. I had been using the Gravis Gamepad USB for the longest time, so I had gotten used to the Playstation button layout. I'm not a big fan of the Microsoft 2-trigger, 6-button format so some of the other similar controllers with analog sticks were out of the running.

Ultimately, I'd say that this is a good deal, as long as you're willing to invest in some quality rechargeable batteries as well. It's nice not to have the chord to deal with, but constant gaming can be costly if you're replacing batteries frequently.

This is for people who must have four triggers to play their games - otherwise, I suggest you get the none cordless version of the same rumblepad made by Logitech. It's cheaper, doesn't require batteries and still has the same slick design.

Summary: DO NOT BUY
Review: This product is useless, as hundreds of people can tell you if you google search for calibration problems. The pad has a hardware problem which causes the left analog stick to break after a few minutes of use. You have to unplug it and plug it back in every few minutes to recalibrate the stick. Logitech refuses to fix it, so DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT

Summary: haven't had this long enough...
Review: to really judge the quality of this gem but ...my brother has had his since may of '02 and hasn't experienced any problems at all. installation was a snap under XP and so far the performance is everything i've expected so unless buttons begin to fall off or the d-pad starts sticking {keep it clean and this won't happen} then i think it deserves atleast 4 stars. ...it's a little pricey but 'hopefully' you get what you pay for.

Summary: Nice Pad, Little Documentation
Review: Very Nice Pad, but the Profiler included doesn't seem to work with any games i have, but overall a good buy

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: As good as it gets!
Review: Wireless 2.4 GHz gamepads? Wow! After many years of dealing with IRQ conflicts and other "game port" headaches, I was in the market for some new USB gamepads. These offered everything I was looking for and then some! USB connectivity, fully programable, familiar button/gamepad layout, (joysticks an added plus!) Force Feedback and 2.4GHz wireless! There a little heavy for gamepads, but this only adds to their "rock solid" feel. Included literature is weak. However, everything can be found at Logitech [website]. These are the best gamepads I have ever owned and highly recommend them!
